THE YOUNG AUTHORS FOUNDATION HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT CHILDREN AREN39T READING AND WRITING ANY MORE. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE The potential to exact significant change in the lives of children is within our grasp but we have to be smart diligent and adaptive. Research clearly shows that an emotional connection to reading and writing in children between the critical ages of 6 11 will positively impact their learning comprehension and communication skills for the rest of their lives. This is our resolve.
